DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOTYPE PEM-ELECTROLYSER FOR DISTRIBUTED RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS: TESTING UNDER EMULATED WIND POWER CONDITIONS

摘要

The PEM-electrolyser was tested and operated for more than 1000 hours, with a nominal hydrogen production capacity of approximately 1 Nm~3/h at 1 bar. The power input was an actual 3-day wind power profile, scaled to fit the maximum performance of the electrolyser with a time resolution of 1 second. The wind power profile was based on actual measurements taken from a test station for wind turbines at Valsneset in Norway, and represented a typical period with both maximum and minimum power from the wind power generator.
